Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.
Jasper Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”) is furnishing an updated corporate presentation, attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Corporate Presentation”), which the Company intends to post on the Company’s website. The Corporate Presentation is current as of June 2, 2023, and the Company disclaims any obligation to update this material in the future.
The information in this Item 7.01, including the Corporate Presentation attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1, is being furnished under Item 7.01 of Form 8-K and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, and it shall not be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
Item 8.01. Other Events.
The Corporate Presentation included the following information: the Company recently met with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”), which provided the Company with valuable guidance and feedback regarding the Company’s proposed program for briquilimab for the treatment of Chronic Spontaneous Urticaria (“CSU”). As a result of the feedback received from the FDA, the Company currently expects to file its investigational new drug application (“IND”) for briquilimab for the treatment of CSU, and dose the first patient in the study, in the second half of 2023.
The Company will continue to engage with the FDA towards filing its IND and the launch of the CSU clinical trial.
Forward Looking Statements
Except for the factual statements made herein, information contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K consists of forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Words and expressions reflecting optimism, satisfaction or disappointment with current prospects or future events, as well as words such as “believes,” “intends,” “expects,” “plans” and similar expressions, or the use of future tense, identify forward-looking statements, but their absence does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. Such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of performance and actual actions or events could differ materially from those contained in such statements. For example, there can be no assurance that the Company will meet its expected timing to file the IND with the FDA or the timing to complete the first patient enrollment for its proposed program for briquilimab for the treatment of CSU, and the outcome of any anticipated future discussions with the FDA. Reference is also made to other factors detailed from time to time in the Company’s periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and any subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. The forward-looking statements contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K speak only as of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K and the Company assumes no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements to reflect changes in information, events or circumstances after the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K, unless required by law.
